LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
I was walking in shadows, hiding from myself.
a knot in my chest, silence was the key.
I thought no one could ever see,
but your soul always knows who you’re meant to be.
(Verse 2)
I denied the echo that lived in my voice,
like staying quiet was my only choice.
But the weight grows heavy when there’s no space,
and one day the walls start to break.
(Chorus)
And I spoke, and the fear let go,
there was no judgment, only hope.
An embrace that made me feel alive,
like the world wasn’t just black and white.
At last, I knew I wasn’t alone,
at last, I knew who I was.
(Verse 3)
An open door, and silence shattered,
their eyes found what I had hidden.
Tears in the bathroom, a nameless ache,
and by next morning, it was erased.
(Chorus)
’Cause we don’t talk about it,
but it hurts the same.
Even as the fear burned inside me,
I learned to walk through flames.
I’m no shadow, I’m no shame,
I’m who I’m meant to be.
(Bridge)
The years go by, and wounds can heal,
with every hug, with love that’s real.
The ones who stayed, the ones who cared,
were the light in my despair.
(Final Chorus)
And now I sing without a shake,
because I know I’m not a mistake.
There’s no sin in my reflection,
there’s no shame in my direction.
I’m no shadow, I’m no shame,
I’m who I’m meant to be.
